I use a copper funnel similar to this one made by Peter Goebel.

I wrap my fist around my horn neck so that the spout is just below my index finger and thumb. This makes a little pocket out of my own hand around the horn spout. Just pour powder straight in the horn. No funnel needed. I rarely spill any at all.
Once upon a time I had a little funnel just for filling my horn. Haven't used it since I figgered out that my hand works just as well. Now there's one less piece of junk in my shooting box.

Since my funnel doesn't fit and I don't have another way to put in powder without spilling some of it,,
As illustrated above, you can use this method without spilling one grain. (You could also make a paper funnel and pour the powder only once.)

I tried the hand-funnel method and spilled three grains. Not for me. :)

I cut a piece of paper - roll it into a funnel shape - stick the small end into the hole in the horn and pour in the powder - when done I throw away the paper funnel :grin: .

Same here.
 
Next time you go to the doctor get a couple of those little black funnels that they use to look in your ear. They work great.
 
Years ago I made a powder horn for my daughter's rifle. I used the horn tip to make a funnel. Sine I made it for the purpose, it was easy to make the tip fit my horn or my flask. I still use it today when I am loading my rifle.
